An Ingenious Spider.

Spiders are not looked upon with
much favor by people in general,
though they are a very bright, intel
lectual folk, with a decided aptitude
for geometry. They are the only ami
nal which are known to construct
nets for the capture of prey. The fol-
lowinr example of their ingenuity is
from the notes Of q traveller in New
Guinea. II saw" he says, "a small
spider which had spun its web under
the edge of one of my boxes. and
taken a butterfly at least ten times its
own size. No sooner did the latter
find itself caught than it began TO iut-
ter. | then watched the spiders pro-
ceedings.
at issued from its hiding place, and
threw itself upon its victim, but with
out iniuring it.. Looking attentively
saw that il attached u thread to the
end of one wing, with which it ran
away, and made it fast to the box, SO
that the butterfly could not stir this
wing. The spider then descended
again, and repeated the performance
at the other wing. 1t went backwards
and forwards on similar errands eleven
times, on each occasion diminishing
its poor victims power to %flutter, until
at last it could neither move 0 offer
any resistance.
II thought that now, probably, the
time had come for the spider to begin
to sup. but its work was not yet done.
81 saw it descend again, and I'M
hook one wing from the side to which
it was fastened; the spider then climbed
up, e~ndeavoring to reach its prey, and
having secured the wing he re-descend-
ed and cut another thread; then mount
ing again, repeated TIE performance.
1T assembled and descended twenty
one times. loosoning all the threads,
and making them fast higher up, until
il had hoisted its prey 10 the mouth OF
It's den. Having accomplished .his, it
shut itself up to enjoy the fruits of its
toll; but it seemed to me such an in
telligent spider, that ] thought il
worthy of being preserved in spirits OF
| wine"

Some Curious Wedding Rings.

New York Jewelry News: In speak
ing of wedding rings, we learn tina
these important symbols have no al
WAYS been manufactured from the pre-
cious metal, gold. We are told that
in lieu of e ring the church key has Of
ten been used, and Walpole tells Of an
nstanc where a certain ring was EN-
ployed. The duke of Hamilton fel! SO
violently III love with the younger of
the celebrated Misses Cunning, at a
party in Lord Chesterlield's house, that
two DAYS a{te- he sent for a parson to
perform the wedding ceremony; but as
the duke had neither license 0 ring,
the clergyman refused TO act. Nothing
daunted, Hamilton declared she would
send for the archbishop" At last they
were married with a ring of the bed
curtain, at half-past II at night, at
Maytield chapel. Forgetful bride
grooms have been reduced to a
greater strait than this even; in
one instance a leather ring had,
on the spur of the moment, to be cut
out Of q piece of kid. from the brides
glove. A tragic story of a forgotten
wedding ring is told in the 'Lives of
the Lindsleys When he should have
been at church. Colin Lindsey, the
Young Earl of Balcarres, was quietly
eating his breakfast in night gown and
slippers; When reminded that Mauriet-
ia of Nassau was waiting for him Mt
the altar, he hurried to church but for
got the ring; a friend present gave him
one which he, without looking at,
placed on the brides finger. After the
ceremony was over, the Countess
glanced at her hand and beheld q grin
ming deaths head IN her ring. She
tainted away, and the omen made such
an impression III her, that on cover
ing she declared that she was destined
to die within a year; a presentment
that probably brought about its own
fulfil nent, for in n few months the
careless Collin was a widower.

The SCOUTS FIGHT.

1t is noon by the sun. Here, thirty
miles north of the White river, and
only a few miles from where it bends
about the eastern side Of Harney's
Peak, is a spring and two or three
small trees. The spring is the sourc
of u tiny creek which threads its way
over plain and prairie until it empties
into the river. Thus writes IN. Quad"
in the Detroit Free Press, and though
sadly '.of'' in his geography, neverthe-
less tells ar interesting story.
Fort SulIy is an even hundred miles
to the northeast, and the country be-
tween is given over to the coyote, the
rattlesnak. and the savage.
Camp Robinson is an even hundred
miles to the northwest en- the very
beadwaters of the White, and the coun-
try between might well be written
down as accursCd.
1t is high noon by the silver watch
which the scout pulls from his pocket
as his mule comes TO a sudden halt at
the spring and plungcs hia o S into
the clear, cold water until he must shut
his eyes. From Fort Sully to Camp
Robinson with military orders. just
half the ride has been completed.
Two hundred miles through lands
accursed with venomous serpents,
sneaking coyotes, savage wolves, Indian
devils-with memories Of q score 81
massacres-with remembrances OF
tomahawk and scalpiug knife, and ex-
ultant warriors. They bade this man
good bye rs he rode from the fort, and
they parted with him as il he were go
ing 20 his death. They watched him
AS he rode away into the gloom OF
evening, and when the shadows had
swallowed him up there rose up in his
place, seeming TO be painted across the
somber curtain Of night, the legend:
